Default Blackstone @ 2700 miles (991.2)


Seems like the Copper is the only thing that's above average (10 vs. 8). And oil was changed too early.

Does this company extract the metals and sell them? If so.. What a business!

Nice results!

Good job on doing an early first oil change. Keep doing them and the UOAs. Those wear metals should continue to drop. Then they should freeze and stabilize at about the 20,000 mile mark. You can compare your values to the many UOAs I've posted in my dedicated thread, here:

Back in early 2014, when new, my copper was 7 ppm. Now it's holding steady at 1 ppm. FYI.

What oil did you refill with?

@LexVan , I used 0w-40. Sorry for responding much later.

I sent them a new sample, now the car is at 8700 miles. What is strange is that I mailed the Blackstone "merchandise return label" black box 3 day ago, and the USPS tracking # on the pre-printed label is still not trackable. I am starting to think the USPS office lost it.

Any updates on the recent oil change?

Did you refill with M1 0W40 after the first analysis? Please post the analysis when you get it. Interested to see the viscosity considering yours is a 991.2 and those numbers seem to be poor in the 991. 1 engines when using the M1 0W40.
